A 13-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the Aug. 12 fire that destroyed the outdoor pavilion and adjacent restrooms at Broomfield’s Northmoor Park.During the past eight days, a joint investigation by Broomfield police and the North Metro Fire arson investigators identified the suspect, according to Broomfield Police Sgt. H.R. Walts.

According to Walts, the case was presented to the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and an arrest warrant obtained for the juvenile.

He was arrested Thursday and is currently being held for investigation of first- and second-degree arson.

The fire was first reported to 911 dispatchers at about 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 12. When firefighters arrived at the scene at 1310 Birch St., the pavilion, the furniture in the pavilion and the restrooms were completely engulfed in flames.

A teenage girl was taken into custody Tuesday morning after leading the Colorado State Patrol on a nearly 100-mile chase, which exceeded more than 100 mph at times.

A spokesperson with the State Patrol says the incident started at 6:57 a.m. when the teen allegedly failed to pay for $35.05 in gasoline at a gas station in Arriba, which is about 20 miles east of Limon.

A trooper with the State Patrol spotted the car on westbound Interstate 70 and followed her green Grand Am onto I-70 towards the metro area. The State Patrol was forced to call off the chase before reaching Byers because the suspect was driving more than 100 mph and the volume of traffic on the highway was increasing.

The State Patrol requested the help of the Aurora Police Department, which set up “stop sticks” near I-70 and Tower Road, puncturing all four of the vehicle’s tires. The car came to a stop a short distance later near I-70 and Pena Boulevard at 7:55 a.m.

Another motorist on eastbound I-70 also hit the stop sticks, but the State Patrol says there were no injuries or accidents at the end of the chase.

The teen’s identity, or the charges she will face, were not immediately known. The State Patrol says the car she was driving was stolen from Westminster.

DURANGO, Colo.—Sheriff’s officials say a bicyclist who organized a charity race was injured by a small cannonball that was shot at him and investigators suspect five teenagers of the crime.

The La Plata County Sheriff’s office say they plan to interview the teenagers with their parents next week about the cannonball that was fired at the bicyclist Sunday during a multiple sclerosis fundraiser in Durango.

Authorities say the cannonball was similar to what is used at high school and college games to celebrate a touchdown. Sheriff’s officials say a gauze-like wadding soaked in an unknown chemical caused an explosion near the legs of 37-year-old Ian Altman. The explosion lodged particulate in his legs and arms and he was hospitalized with a 102.5-degree fever.
